PayPal silently release their official application for Nokia phones today. It's free so it is supposed to be available worldwide, where Ovi Store is available. However, it is not. I think it's only available at Ovi Store in France.

"Send money to your friends, manage your account and more with the PayPal app. It's free and secure. You can request money from friends, split a check and also transfer money to your bank account."

The UI of the application is smooth. It's like the iOS version. It also has it's own portrait qwerty keyboard, although it looks somewhat odd, it still nice. By the waym this app is built on Java, not Symbian. It would be better if this is a native Symbian client. So go ahead and download it! I will try to add screenshots later.

We should see an eBay app next time. ;)

WARNING! The installer of this app is only 7kB but when installing, it will download another 1-2Mb of files from the internet. So you may want to use WLAN when downloading.

Just tried this and installed on my N8 and it is really cool! I bet this is the start of transformation of Symbian UI to Qt.Bubbles is a fun and efficient way to take a shortcut to timely or useful things on your phone. Bubbles appears when you press the "Apps" key while your device is in sleep mode (instead of the black screen with clock and unlock button). Simply grab a bubble and drag it to one of the available drop points to initiate the corresponding action.

The update also contains a number of interface improvements, making it easier to add contacts, navigate, add a photo to your profile and set your mood message. Additionally, we’ve updated the interface to better fit larger screens.

So you came here maybe because you don't like the Social application on your N8 and you are looking for the native Facebook application to use. So, here it is! The official Facebok for Symbian is meant to use with the Nokia N97 and Nokia N97 Mini but I tried it on my Nokia N8 and it is fully functional! You may want to try it. :)
